Tracking Islamophobia in the Media

Stephen Colbert followed Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar’s lead Tuesday morning, storming off set of “The View” in dramatic fashion. Unlike the show’s two co-hosts — who walked off the set Thursday in protest of Bill O’Reilly’s comments about Muslims and 9/11 — Colbert’s walk-off was a joke. He said, “Bill’s talking about emotion. Bill was not talking about what the facts were, Bill was talking about what felt right. And it feels wrong.”
That’s an interesting take on O’Reilly’s racist comments about Muslims. Indeed, he FEELS strongly that Muslims are a threat. Unfortunately, his feelings are feeding hatred, just like what Rosie O’Donnell had commented.

Glad to see celebrities like her and The View ladies standing up for what’s American, factually correct, and fair.
